The camp meeting of the United Breth-
rem church that commenced on the 9Th
inst. on their grounds near Mt. jackson,
has been well attended, the crowd on Sun
day being very large. The excursion
trans both ways were packed while PR
vate conveyances of every description
poured in a constant stream Of humanity
from all directions. While these meetings
ere gotten up with the best intentions
and from the purest and noblest motives,
we can not help but think that they are
productive of much harm. 1t seems that
the hardest cases of the country, both
male and female, take advantage of these
gatherings to launt their vileness in the
faces OF decent people. We think that
Sunday excursions should be stopped in
the interest of public morals.

Instead Of cutting down the number OF
repair hands in the different gangs along
the road, the b. & o. company would con-
suit the interest of true economy by in
creasing the force until the road was put
in first class condition. The hands now
employed are as faithful workers as ever
struck a blow on any track, but they are
too few TO do the work required of them.
The condition Of the track over the high
fill on south edge Of town IA decidedly
dangerous The ties, most of which are
very small are badly rotten, and it one
of the heavy engines and trains that 60
flying around the sharp curve on this big
embankment are not thrown from the
track and smashed TO ninters it will only

tainly the railroad people are daring fate
at this point. We feel that we would not
be dong our duty towards our people Il
we failed to warn them against this dan
